To date, my boyfriend and I have earned over 10,000 Jet Blue points from taking surveys at night from the comfort of our home when we have finished working and are relaxing. You don't have to do the math because I'll do it for you: that's equivalent to about 370 dollars if one is to use the "1000 points for 37 dollars" matrix that Jet Blue uses. It was enough to put us over the top to book the other direction of our trip to Florida in late August. Because of Jet Blue's generous programs (we both got the Jet Blue Amex), we'll be taking two vacations this summer and will have paid 250 each for both round trip flights.
Say what you will, but persistence for us has paid off.
Agreed, it's about persistence, and just happening to be in the demographics they're looking for.
To the folk having issues getting matches: The start of each survey opportunity presents you with a pre-survey set of questions. I'm pretty sure these are two fold: 1) remove the bots and 2) add to your survey profile. Just answer honestly, and consistently. If you do choose to select "prefer not to answer" any questions (exception to the final ones) know your time will be wasted and you'll only get the 10 points even if you've been reading and interacting for 10 minutes. In that case it's best to get it over with swiftly and "prefer not to answer" right up front, and those will weed down the number of surveys you'll have available to you.
In less than one month I've earned 1200 JB points. I have a goal of taking 10 surveys/day at 10pts each, or if they go through and are longer, keep going until I hit the 100 pt/day mark (I don't take them every day.) Some are fun and well laid out, others, like the last one for greeting cards were horribly long with lots of little dots to click on... I hate those and they drive me away from the survey process. I don't see how the companies get any useful info out of them when they've made the screens prone to errors and boredom and errors from boredom. The good ones can be fun to take.
